Your hosts Meg Grehan (she/her) and Courtney Smyth (they/them) welcome you to the Four Seasons Writers Retreat, where your only job is to cosy up at the fireside. Grab a blanket, a warm drink and settle in for a comforting chat about writing – from craft, to rules, to time, to aesthetics, there’s plenty to talk about. You’ll be invited back again and again as the seasons change. We hope you enjoy your stay!Contact: fourseasonswritersretreat@gmail.com@fourseasonswritersMeg socials: @megcathwritesCourtney socials: @cswritesbooksMusic from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/brock-hewitt-stories-in-sound/seasonsLicense code: GJNEJSHB20ZUR8N6 Hosted on Acast.

It's the final week of Four Seasons Writers Retreat Volume I: Autumn, and Meg and Courtney discuss writing instincts – from trusting yourself to know what kinds of stories you want to write and methods you want to use, to listening to your heart when it tells you not to do something. Your co-hosts wrap up the chat by dissecting what we've learned from the Autumn series of episodes, and bring some recommendations of cozy books. BTS somehow also get a mention...
We hope you enjoy your stay!
